Spending 25 hours a month for over 7 years as a Volunteer Child Advocate for the Wake County Guardian Ad Litem Program, Angela Jacques has provided a voice to 26 abused and neglected children who came to the attention of the Wake County Juvenile Court System. Through her independent investigation, she ensured that her assigned children were provided needed educational and therapeutic services. She also saw to it that they were placed in the care of loving and supportive adults in a timely manner. Valuing family connection, she is consistent in her efforts to search for appropriate family support services. Her efforts often allowed siblings to be placed together and out of the foster care system. Her advocacy extended beyond the courtroom as she worked with others involved in her assigned children's cases to promote their best interests. Her work ethic, commitment to the well-being of the children, and her humility engender deep respect and confidence from all who she encounters.
